Introduction
SSX has three game modes, 'World Tour' (Single Player), 'Explore' (Single Player gameplay with leaderboard challenges), and 'Global Events' (Multiplayer). In all modes there are three different event types for you to compete in: Race It!, Trick It!, and Survive It!. Most of the achievements in the game are achieved by fulfilling bronze, silver, and gold badge requirements. There is a collectible based badge that is required to obtain if you want the full 1000 score (the collectibles are placed within the game by you and fellow riders). Badge progress is tracked by percentages only, so it is wise to use the checklists provided within the forums.
World Tour - Single Player
Playing through World Tour introduces and unlocks the characters upon completing a range. Your scores are not recorded within this mode, you must simply place at least bronze in the various events to continue. If you happen to fail an event 3-5 times the game gives you the option to progress without penalty.
Explore
All the drops are now available for you to record your best score/time on within this mode. Your ghost is automatically uploaded and can be challenged by your friends. Mods and Geotags can now be purchased and used. A good majority of the badges can and will be achieved within this mode.
Global Events - Multiplayer
The same drops available in Explore mode are available within this mode. The events are set up through EA and have a vast amount of choices. They differ in the length of run time, drop costs/payouts, gear, rewind and gear level restrictions. The events change constantly throughout the day. You compete against other players in real time as well as against your opponents best ghost time. This is the mode for setting up custom events to race against your friends in real time. There are 3 achievements that can only be achieved through this mode. The Gold Spender achievement has a Gold Badge called Bandwagon and it requires that you participate in an event that has had 50,000 riders who joined it.
Achievements & Badges
SSX has a neat badge system that rewards you with badges for meeting certain requirements while playing through the game. When you meet all the medal badge requirements of a specific badge type, you unlock the achievement for that medal of the specific badge type. See The Badge Guide.
An example: World Tour Badges

When you meet the requirements for the 10 Bronze badges you unlock the The Bronze Campaign
- Bronze Badge - 'Can't Play Nice' - Knockdown 1 rider
-
When you meet the requirements for the 10 Silver badges you unlock the The Silver Campaign
- Silver Badge - 'Unstoppable' - Knockdown 10 riders
-
When you meet the requirements for the 10 Gold badges you unlock The Gold Campaign
- Gold Badge - 'Outta My Way!' - Knockdown 25 riders
Therefore, you must meet the requirements for the 30 (medal) Badges within this group of World Tour Badges to unlock all three Campaign World Tour Badges achievements.
